David Unsworth - Temporary Manager

[Zatara]

Williams.

First substitution.

Amazing.

Forgetting me always on about the kids...

But how do some of the seniors get in ahead of them??

Its insane.

 

[miff]

No need.

Apologies

 

[Zatara]

The problem with Lookman and Vlasic is that they have no defensive discipline, so the defence (such as it is) can't rely on them covering runners - see the bollocking that Kenny gave to Lookman today.

I think its irrelevant myself.

We know the defence is awful. That's why we need to play attacking football with a high line...

Take the game to the opposition with no fear and try and put them on the back foot.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Why do people feel sorry for him?

Is he a nice feller? Of course. It's irrelevant. He has been put in charge of one of the biggest clubs in the country for an entire month simply because he is Kenwright's mate. We weren't even looking for a manager as he lurched from one defeat to the other, he has played a part in making the club a laughing stock, (the gutless players need to take a lot of blame too), he is getting paid a fortune while taking our club into the abyss, but we are supposed to feel "sorry for him?"

 

[Soap]

I feel sorry for him. He's hurting like us.

Let's not go hard on him, it's not his fault we spent a fortune on rubbish.

To be honest Zatmonster most of the kids are terrible too. DCL , Davies and Kenny shouldn't be near the side. Ok maybe Davies at a push, I just don't rate him.

I just cannot understand how anyone in a £1m+ a year job thought buying players from Swansea, Palace, Burnley and Sunderland was going to be of net benefit to a side that regularly finished above them. Mental.

Absolute crap and you know it....he can go and hurt somewhere else then

We haven’t got the speed at the back play a high line. Not one of our defenders is blessed with pace

Joey Barton got a lot of s*** off Evertonians for his comments regarding Unsworth a few weeks back but his views are looking more and more spot on by the day. He called him out before most did.

It was the manner of the comments that didn't sit right with me, he could have made his point without getting personal.

It's about having a team ethic and playing a high line with fast players and someone who can get the ball to them...attack and defend in groups.

I don't mind us going for players from worse teams, but it depends on who we go for...old players are pointless signings.

Players like Klaassen and Sigurdsson aren't dynamic enough if we have vlasic and lookman wide.

Remember Kanchelskis...ok he was world class but the way he ran with the ball scared defenders, we should start players who do that.

I was all for Unsworth taking the helm, but I was v wrong. Can't lay the general shambles of Everton at his door, but there must be a coach out there who can make this admittedly woeful and unmotivated bunch of players into something resembling a team

 

[Gladystweet]

I find it hard to criticise him personally as he is completely out of his depth.
There was far too many on here and elsewhere who were saying give him the job as he is one of us.This made it far too easy for the board to fap about instead of focussing on a target that was doable rather than chasing people we were never going to get

"Give 'im it til Christmas like"

Indeed.

Kenny, Holgate and Jagielka aren't 'slow'. Sure, they aren't rapid and I don't mean an AVB type high line..just a lot higher than they have been

Every game we drop further and further back and have no out ball as the players who can hold onto the ball and run don't start.

Same.

But wtf is he doing starting schneiderlin, mirallas, lennon etc?

 

[DualityNSNO]

Feel sorry for him, there isn't an ounce of fight in some of these lot, some of his selections and teams have been wrong but the players he's sending out should not be shipping 4 and 5 goals.

He's not ready to manage at this level, but he has got a good sprinkling of shithouses in that squad who aren't putting the effort in.

I honestly don't.

For a brief moment today I thought "hey, that's a good selection".

And we start wrong again, with some kind of arsey 4-4-2 for no reason whatsoever, leaving the team stranded. Instantly ship a goal, again, just like the last 5 games, then look like we'll ship 95 more for the remainder of the half. Fix it up, get a goal, it's still crapola after that, we concede more and more and more.

He's proving his ineptitude at this point as he's piling this on himself. The team is disorganised, the selection is still not balanced at all, players still aren't playing where they should and tactically we look like we've somehow gone back from Koeman to now.
